Amen, sista! And, I, too, was on ametryptilene. No effect whatsoever except weight gain. But as you say, it's a personal choice. Others may see progress w/it but it's good to hear other's experiences w/it beforehand.Originally Posted by carole
I was also on Prednisone and in the beginning, it was a miracle drug. Totally pain free in 24 hours. It lasted two weeks. Went on it again, half as much pain that also lasted two weeks. Went on it one last time. NO effect whatsoever. So my dr. (I've since switched to someone else) wanted to put me on it for two years. I did my research and it makes your bones brittle and affects your balance, which it had already done. I have a terrible time w/my balance now. Plus you become moon faced and fat. Lovely. No effect PLUS I get to gain weight in the process. What a deal!Hopefully, someday someone will come up w/the solution of pain management for fibromyalgia patients. Until such time, though, I refuse to be a guinea pig.
